...knew, by writing in the style of other composers' work. As a bon-voyage gift to Cole Porter before a 1935 sailing, Berlin roguishly parodied Porter's recent hit "You're the Top: "You're the burning heat/ Of a bridal suite/ In use,/ You're the breasts of Venus/ You're King Kong's penis/ You're self-abuse!" In 1948, for a Bob Hope Christmas tour in support of the Berlin airlift, he adapted the Ralph Rainger-Leo Robin "Thanks for the Memory."

However, those who are drawn by this track alone will be deceived; though “Rattlesnakes” borders on the same territory, the bulk of the album explores radically different, uncharted ground. Her take on Tom Waits’ “Time,” is, despite the quantum difference...
